Using Aperture 3 on my iMac. I have thousands of pictures. Right now they are ALL in 1 library. I'm concerned about putting &quot;all my eggs in 1 basket&quot;. If the library gets corrupted, etc... I could lose everything right? And it can also start slowing down over time. I just came back from a trip and took 7gb of pictures. Should I create a new library for vacations only, or library2, etc...? What are your suggestions to make sure I don't jeopardize the integrity of my library/pics and have A3 as fast as possible? Any suggestions appreciated. Also, if you want, tell me how you organize all your pics, if you have many.

Images and Photos

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that encodes digital images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction. Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. Digital and film cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.  Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after being recorded, and store and delete images from memory. Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with sound. Some digital cameras can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing.
